Ingredients
- 1 cup cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cup sugar
- 3 tbsp tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 tbsp tbsp butter
- 1 egg
- 1 vial vanilla essence
Tools
- Rolling Board
- Rolling Pin
- Mat
Steps
Place the flour and sugar on the rolling board, mix and add the cold butter cut into pieces. Blend with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, make a well in the center and add the egg and vanilla essence. Form a ball and divide it in half. In one half of the shortcrust pastry, add the unsweetened cocoa powder, then wrap both doughs separately in cling film, and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. After the time has passed, take the two doughs and form cords, arrange five of them alternating the two colors, and after flattening them slightly with the rolling pin, cut the cookies three centimeters apart from each other. You can also form circles with half white dough and half chocolate. Bake in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Here are the ready-to-eat two-tone shortcrust pastry cookies.
